I forget how much the Lord cares for me. I know He cares for me in my head, but in my heart it is hard to fathom that.
A few weeks ago, I was driving home from CGA and started to feel so defeated. I was -$2.41 in my bank account, a few cans of food left in my pantry, and not enough spring/summer clothes. I wanted to get a coffee, because I hadnt had one in long time. Basically, I had needs and wants that I could not afford and did not know what I was going to do meet my needs. I was talking with Lord about all of this.
I pull into my driveway. I look down in my car door… there was a wad of cash! I had cleaned my car out the day before that; the money was not there!!! I cannot explain that other than the Lord placed the cash in my car.
So, I pulled out of my driveway to go get groceries because that was my ultimate need. In my spirit, I felt the Lord say that I needed to go buy a dress first. He kept saying “Don’t you trust Me?” So I went to the dress store and spent $10 on a beautiful dress! I then told the Lord that I was going to the grocery store because my need was for food. The Lord had other plans.. He then told me to go to Inman Perk (coffee place) to get some coffee and work on homework. He again said, “Dont you trust me?” I go to Inman Perk, and I decide I am going to read for one of classes. I open up the book there was MORE money inside. At this point, I am just overwhelmed because He is providing for my wants and needs! After Inman, I finally had permission to go grocery shopping. God made it happen that everything I needed was somehow discounted!!! I spent a total of $15 at the store, but bought everything I needed!! I still had money leftover.
I got into my car after shopping and yelled YES GOD I TRUST YOU!
Friends, you can trust God with your needs and your wants. He gives good gifts to His children! He wants to speak with you. He wants to surprise you! He cares so deeply for you, specifically for you! Do not be afraid to ask God for things. He likes when we trust Him enough to go to Him! He loves when we dream big, because it is His dream for us!
BE BOLD! TRUST GOD! DREAM HARD!
